WASHINGTON -- Protesters unhappy with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's
budget proposals forced a GOP congressman to shut down a town hall
meeting on Monday in the governor's hometown, demonstrating that
state-level labor battles could become a liability even for Republicans
at the federal level.

"This state is so (angry) at Republicans right now because they're trying to shut down debate," yelled one protester at
the meeting in Wauwatosa, which was being held in a town library. Other
protesters responded with loud cheers.
